Username concern
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that the username you have chosen, "ArtisanSupport", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of something other than yourself. Please note that you may not edit on behalf of a company, group, institution, product, or website which relates to the entity in question, and Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or accounts that are shared. If you are willing to use a personal account, please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our Conflict of interest guideline and Plain and simple conflict of interest guide, and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. Daniel Case (talk) 19:25, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

Just trying to keep my access to sites simple by using the same username I use elsewhere for Internet services and editorial relating to projects I am involved with or provide support for. I am an experienced website editor/coder and journalist/copywriter so please don't be worried I am going to do anything untoward. I'm not stupid and didn't expect to be jumped on the minute I signed up. I was hoping Wikipedia had moved on in recent years. Not a great initial impression of those involved set here. :-( ArtisanSupport (talk)

Not a very good welcome back huh? It's actually a shame
Hi there (If you're still about.)

So you've been here before a while back? Now I'm no long time contributor but yes I have seen/heard here and there that Wikipedia has changed in the past few years. Please excuse that you were jumped on when you first appeared but the username policy is (most likely) a lot more extensive then it (probably) used to be, it now covers names that may suggest a member of an organisation and unfortunately 'Support' falls under that, you seem harmless in terms of promotion judging by your edits but can I kindly ask that you take a look at WP:COI? In my opinion I don't think simply moving it to a different section construes Conflict of Interest editing but I'm no experienced editor and I certainly can't tell what other editors may be thinking.

Sorry to see that you've had such a shoddy 'welcome back'. Can I ask you one other thing? When you leave a message type ~ at the end of it so that people know who left it? Thanks and welcome back. MM ("Well? What have you got to report?")  ("I give to you...") 13:56, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
